Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of alcohol and drug rehab centers in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehab might be different and someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
